Got called into a museum I do research at to help ID three crates of guns. Took pictures for y'all. The firearms collection here is super eclectic, if I got anything wrong let me know.
Let's start with an absolutely gorgeous Smith and Wesson Model 2 Army
Some Colt .36. Not sure on details
why no gloves
>anxiously waiting for something cool
A Japanese model 11 light machine gun and Japanese aircraft Lewis gun. Heading to class soon but I'll be back
Director's choice. Museum courtesy dictates
Bump. OP post more
I'll take the entire crate OP; thanks.
Keep taking pics, user. Even when you go to the bathroom.
MG08/15, manufactered 1918
Nice
Weird centerfire revolver carbine in some .32 caliber. 8 rounds, double action
Thanks Ian Jr.
Plz keep posting
Peabody rifle. Essentially a pre Martini henry
Shiloh heavy. Thicc barrel, vernier rear sight was missing. Drilled and tapped on the left side, I believe for a scope
Woops
Also has a false muzzle to protect the threads
Chassepot needle rifle. Needle was unbroken
Wooden training rifle the cadets at the University used to use. Director joked that it was a standard issue Stalingrad rifle
Great thread faggot. I'm serious, made my day.
Filipino cigarette rifle. Essentially a matchlock that you light manually
This one's pretty neat. Side hammer double rifle
Where do they just get 3 crates of collectible milsurp? Seems weird they aren't labelled already or come with an inventory list
Really? I’d have thought they would want as little skin contact possible on the guns. Definitely some cool shit regardless though.
>pic related
Awesome thread OP
I see what you did there.
Some swords
Ian senpai notice me
They've got catalog numbers and entries, some of which are incomplete or incorrect. Plus we need to confirm their existence and location
Springfield 1903A3, Colt lightning, and a 1942 K98K with waffenamp
I'll be going back to the museum were allowed at to work in the armory again this month
So... It's a faglock?
I'm taking a lot of time this time to take apart stuff and dig through the handguns again
I sincerely hope all these fine firearms aren't deactivated. Who's dick did you have to suck to get a job like that?
WHY CAN'T I
HOLD ALL THESE LUGER'S?
Trapdoor carbine and heavy barreled slant breech sharps
Good 1873
why so many lugers?
doesnt make sense for a museum to hoard more than 5 of anything
what the fuck? does some gay museum really need 3 crates of lugers? Just put one in a display case and release the rest into the wild!
Cause it's a military armory
More than 3 crates
Pocket a luger for me. Please.
Never got around to playing with this alot
Can't. All registered
Steal the registry.
Saving all these images and I didn't even ask. Call the police I don't care.
Just one. They'll never notice.
That’s an Early model, or perhaps a prototype.
It reminds me of the clover guns colt made, and I believe they experimented with doing that to their army/larger pattern guns.
I’m fairly certain Ian has made a vid on something like that.
The cylinder is so strange compared to production models.
Looks vaguely lefecheaux.
Perhaps a conversion or ripoff?
Sexy!
Oh good grief...
I need a C96 in my life...
Yes they will unfortunately.
Rip forgot pictures
Winchester 94, Burnside Carbine, and a Union Carbine
The Springfield and Mauser again, plus a Mauser 71 cavalry carbine and a three barrel rotating shotgun/rifle/rifle
Action on the drilling
Kammerlader 1860
Stunningly good condition Model 97. Manufactured 1900
Vetterli
Jezail. Probably a souvenir gun, barrel is ridiculously short.
That's about all for now, I'll be going through and responding to questions in a minute
That's really pretty.
>"Why can't I hold all these Uzis?!"
Now we just wait for a natural disaster and raid the place for "emergency supplies"
This needs to be bumped and appreciated
How many crates OP?
fucking hell that's mint
Just 3 at my museum
T. Op
It's pristine. No catalog number or any record though... Director and I joked about walking out with it. Soon as a museum gets a reputation for guns disappearing though a lot fewer people are willing to donate them
you have a Jew nose
What museum is this anyway? I could use a job there.
What caliber was the 1873?
Back action locks are hideous.
.32 wcf. Little confused why someone would buy all that rifle but so little bullet
To be fair this one's really beat up
>Director joked that it was a standard issue Stalingrad rifle
the director sounds like a cool dude
damn nice
Just asking. You got any of those WW2 M1 training rifles from Parris? I own two so I assume they are extremely common.
